Battle Mountain Re-Emerges in Castle Rock
It was only a few months ago when Battle Mountain closed down their location here in Colorado Springs, with scant information on when and where they’d be back up and running. We only knew they’d be up in Castle Rock, but not when or where they’d re-emerge. The day has finally come and Battle Mountain Brewing has merged taken over The Backyard bar in Castle Rock and they’re ready to party.
Visit them at 330 Third Street in Castle Rock for their Grand Opening June 2-4 this weekend!

Summer Beer Poll
A Toad Farewell
This Saturday marks the last day that Smiling Toad is open for business, closing the book on a decade of brewing across three locations here in Colorado Springs. The Toad has long been a meeting spot for many of us—a safe, welcoming space that just so happened to have beer.
We’ve had wedding receptions, game nights, and almost everything in between at the Smiling Toad, so we’re going to miss it dearly. Please try to stop in there sometime before Saturday to pay your respects and thank Biff for his dedication to our local brewery scene. Maybe we’ll see you there…
